UAE: Zero delivery-bike accidents in Ajman in six months

Ajman has made a remarkable stride in road safety with zero delivery-bike accidents reported over the past six months, following a stringent safety campaign by local authorities. The Ajman Police intensified their monitoring efforts, resulting in a notable decline in incidents involving delivery motorcycles. Compared to the period before the campaign was launched, accidents related to delivery bikes have dropped by more than half, showing a 56 percent reduction. This accomplishment highlights the effectiveness of the recent safety measures and awareness programs aimed at delivery riders. Despite the decline in accidents caused by delivery bike drivers, authorities clarified that all delivery motorcycles involved in reported accidents were actually not at fault. Instead, those accidents were caused by other motorists, underscoring the improved discipline and adherence to traffic rules among delivery riders. This shift in rider behavior is attributed to the increased field monitoring and ongoing awareness campaigns, which have emphasized the importance of responsible riding and safety. To clamp down on traffic violations, the Ajman Police have taken tough action, impounding 107 motorcycles for serious offenses such as riding against traffic flow or entering prohibited areas. Alongside this, a total of 6,201 traffic violations were recorded from motorcyclists during the campaign period. This enforcement component has been critical in maintaining high levels of compliance and ensuring that riders understand the consequences of reckless behavior. The awareness campaign titled "Delivery: A responsibility and safety," was launched in May 2025, focusing on the delivery sector as a key target for improving road safety. This initiative combined patrols with smart monitoring systems to enhance traffic control and rider accountability. The campaign has not only brought down accident numbers but also fostered a culture of caution and responsibility among delivery riders in Ajman. Local authorities continue to urge all road users to stay vigilant and respectful of traffic regulations to sustain this positive trend. The success story in Ajman could serve as a model for other emirates aiming to reduce delivery-bike accidents and improve overall road safety. Keepin’ an eye on the roads and makin’ sure rules are followed seems to be paying off big time for Ajman’s streets.
